Default The artists corner

I was wondering if there were any artists around here...I won't be surprised if there are some!
I don't think there is a similar topic (I did a little search on the forum...Hopefully I didn't look badly!)
If you are yourself an artist of some sort, feel free to post a little bit of your work, whether you draw, play instruments, or whatever.
As for myself, I am somewhat of a drawer, (poor) singer looking for a band and (lame) voice actor providing voices for some mods.

I've been thinking about doing a Grim Dawn fanart, and actually started one a couple of months ago, but it finally ended up being another entry to my list of aborted projects. Maybe I will give it a try another day.

So here are some drawings. Nothing too amazing, and if they look somewhat good it is simply because I spent days, or even a full week, working on them. Actually, my older works are way superior to my last ones because I had more patience then! :P
I mainly draw with a tablet on photoshop, simply because I became too dependent on the program. I actually have an extremely hard time drawing with pencils and traditional media.

Ok, the first drawing in which I tried to do a more "realistic" style. Sorry, it's a bit gory.



When I don't know what to do, I go for snow and clouds.



This is the drawing on which I spent most time in my life, still behold those problems with perspective and poor textures! XD



Here I gave a little hand to a friend for one of his college projects, in which his team had to come up with a concept for a product (in this case, a box of chocolate/candies for women). Someone drew the sketch and I simply colored it, following the indications of my friend, and did the design of letters on top of it.



A try at a pure black and white drawing. Boy, I remember ending up with more than ten different layers.



Same character as before, in a more "over the top" version...Just an excuse to play with the different effects you can have with photoshop.



For those of you who might be interested, I recorded and speeded-up the process of my last work.

And as far as singing and voice acting goes, well, I don't have any good recording worth sharing...Well, there is always this example of blatant over-acting (yes, yes, I know, I have a French accent!).

So, any other artists around there ? (apart from all the Lords of Crate, who obviously are professionals! )

I like the black/white one the most. It looks very clean and has some kind of manga-flair.

I really wouldn't consider myself an artist. I suck at perspectives (if that is even the correct word).
I made a thread once where I posted some art. I started drawin to disctract me from writing my bachelor-thesis, lol.

That's some cool artwork from you guys, and a great thread!

I'm a musician
I'm currently running two separate projects on my own. All the writing, recording and production is done from my bedroom/studio.
On Wings Of Wax - I would call this progressive/alternative rock if I had to put it into a genre. No, no vocals. I can't sing and kind of like my songs without them.
Self-titled project - Acoustic/Post-Rock. Chillout music, really.

I have EP's out for both of these projects. You'll find the bandcamp links from each project's respective facebook.

Aledog is one of the "Lord Crates", I guess his current work should be kept top secret Though I won't mind a little spoiler!

Nice pics Harlequin, some have a spooky feeling that I really like!

I wouldn't call myself an artist, far from it actually >.>, but I do random stuff in Photoshop when I'm bored. Nothing professional, just stuff to pass time when I feel bored as hell.

Well here goes:
